Separated by our Father: Two Sisters, Two Destinies

By Patricia Filali

"Dear Mr. M ller, A friend of my sister's advised me to write to you, saying you could help me get back to France. My father took my sister and me to Algeria and left us there against our will. He left with our identity cards and passports. I can't live in Algeria; my dearest wish is to return to France, to find my mother and my little sister." Thirty years on, Patricia looks back on her painful past: the kidnapping, the three years she spent held captive in Algeria with her sister Nadia, her spectacular escape, then the long road of necessary reconstruction. Nadia, for her part, got married there. Now separated, but linked by a regular correspondence, they live an opposite destiny, in which reconciliation with their father has finally come to the fore.
